Health departments in the Midwest are alerting the public about a dangerous new animal tranquilizer, medetomidine, which is being mixed with drugs like fentanyl and heroin, leading to overdose deaths. The powerful sedative, not reversible by naloxone, has caused three deaths in Michigan and has been linked to outbreaks of overdoses in other cities. Officials are urging awareness and caution, with Michigan promoting the distribution of drug test strips.
